How do you store your scrapbooking supplies?

After a couple of years of complete disorganization, I bought a Crop in Style Navigator. The thing is almost as big as my suitcase LOL It was 1/2 price at Joann.com's sale last week, and I got it as one of my Christmas presents from dh.

Now I have plenty of room to store all of my things.

How do you store yours? Before this, I was using rubbermaid containers and a cart with several drawers.

I have a small cropper hopper I think it is called the class tote that has hanging files in it and this is where I have my paper sorted and seperated into different folders and then then there is a folder for my die cuts, and my very big stickers (explain why later in post)and also my card stock is stored here as well seperated my type like country , bold, pastel, and white colors. Then I have a zippered binder for my templates and I have the slide protector sheets as holders for the smaller stickers so the mods of sticker fit in these nicely as well as the card protector sheets for the bigger stickers. And then I have stickapotamus binder for the stickers from stickapotamus ( I use these stickers the most in my layouts). And for my pens I have a plastic tub for the ones that have to be on the side and a huge pen/pencil holder for the others and my markers are in the tub and the extra page protectors are in my craft cabinet.

I have a Cropper Hopper. I keep some patterned papers in one side and keep a TON of pictures in the other side. I turned our spare bedroom into my scrapbooking/quilting room at the end of December and I have a dresser in the room. I have cardstock stored in one drawer, punches in another drawer, corrugated die cuts in another drawer, and refill pages, page protectors and pens in another drawer (I also have my Circle Scissor in there - I hate it and need to get rid of it) - the rest of the drawers hold various craft supplies that aren't scrapbooking related. I also have a small storage container that has 3 pull-out drawers. I have stickers in one drawer, page toppers and die cuts in another, and templates in the other. I leave my Xyron sitting on my craft table at all times along with a variety of my tools.

At home, I have a room for my scrapstuff and it stays pretty organized. wire grid cubes, book shelves, dresser, underbed boxes and an old metal cabinet (found that for a buck at an auction).

Although I don't regularly go to crops, I like to take a project or two with me if I have to go somewhere. (ie: hubs conference, slow nights at work, etc..) So I invested in a "Croppin' tote" by craft locker. (found for $17.99 clearance at Hobby Lobby, used a gift card...so it was free to me.. yay)

Can see myself using that bag more often, as I've discovered that two of my night shift co-workers are active scrappers... and a couple more are interested... so we may be starting our own little scrappin group. how fun will that be!

Right now I have a room in the house with all of my scraping stuff. I have binders with clear document holders for all smaller papers, a three drawer rubbermaid thing for all 12x12 papers and all stickers/rub-ons. There is a rolling organizer for the albums under construction and misc supplies, a photo box that holds all of the different adhesives and punches, anoher large hard sided case that contains most of the rest of everything.

I went shopping and bought a bunch more stickers/rub-ons. Now I am trying to find a better way to organize them since there is now well over 500 sheets.

I am getting a Cricut this week and I now have to find a good, safe place to keep it and store the cartridges. I don't want anything to happen to it since I have been waiting so long to get one.

I am halfway through transitioning from a bunch of random boxes into a new cabinet bought just for this purpose.

I have my paper in cubes from Target... I need to reorganize those, too.

I use a plastic drawer deal I found at walmart that has 3 drawers. That's big enough for alot of the paper and also keep odd and end ribbons and laces in one of the drawers.
I have a few rubber maid containers full of different stuff.
Small stuff I just sort and store in sandwich bags and put into baskets if I don't have enough room in the actual scrapbooking boxes( the ones for embellishments)
I also have a scrapbooking tote where I keep all the colored pencils,scissors,stamps,etc.
I have probably 30 small tupperware bowls with lids that I keep additional embellishments( beads,sequins,etc). I used to sell Tupperware so I have alot and didn't know what to do with so much tupperware. I decided to just put it to use storing my crafting stuff so that I didn't have to spend money on more storage stuff. The idea has worked out well.

ahhhhh, the never ending question of how to organize your scrapping stuff.....I am currently halfway still in my portable Crop in style bags, and trying to be organized in my room. I have some standing paper dividers that I use and a tackle box like thing that I used for embelishments. I have inks, and stuff like that in little trays somewhat organized on my tables. I also have a storage closet where I keep extra stuff.
